Exactly how BAD is that shortened travel distance?


I'm just guessing, but it looks like to be about 1/5.

Zazazu:
1/5 sounds realistic. It's bad enough that even with the star systems in the core being nearly on top of each other, I usually only have one possible trail in. That's with waiting for Interstellar Drive 5.0 to start.

jsalemi:
Yea, 1/5 does sound about right -- makes it almost impossible to find a track through without running into a Grox system. And it makes fast retreats really difficult, even if you find a wormhole that plops you in pretty close.  I even found one wormhole exit that was pretty close to the core, but I couldn't reach a single nearby star from it, even with a I-5 drive.  They were all just a little bit beyond the green.

EsotericPolarBear:
It doesn't help that it gives you a circle for determining maximum distance in a 3D field.  They should've just made possible destinations highlighted subtly...but this is EAxis we're talking about...
